After Littlehampton United had won 3 out of 3 from their opening games of the season and Bosham picking up 3 valuable points in a thrilling 4-3 victory v Worthing Town on Saturday this had all the ingredients to provide a tasty bank holiday encounter
As the later kick off within the league schedule, 3 points was crucial for both sides to ensure positive league starts were maintained
The match started evenly with both teams finding their rhythm with end to end attacks however neither team looked to test their opposing keepers, however after 19 minutes it was the home team that broke the deadlock after the hardworking Josh Casey broke up the play to free Craig Rennie on the left who put the ball into feet of the veteran striker Terry Dodd, from there Dodds went solo and produced a moment of masterclass to emphatically lob the Bosham keeper from 20Yards to put LUFC 1-0 up. (Goal of the season Contender number 1)
With the introduction of Milner and a reshuffle of formations for the home side both teams looked to apply the pressure however at the interval it was the home team that went in with a slender one goal advantage.
With the game reaching the final third and the home team still holding a one goal advantage, Bosham went down to 10 men due to dissent and the home team capitalised as Pete Bailey played in Craig Rennie to calmly slot the ball pass the keeper making it 3 in 4 for the Scotsman.
With the advantage doubled, Ton manager made some changes as Ibs Jallow came on for Pete Bailey, and this sub nearly paid off as Jallow rattled the bar making an instant impact and the lively Morgan Day went close again for the home side as he continued to cause problems on the right.
The tie was settled on the 80th minute mark when Chad Milner received the ball from James Naylor from 30 yards out to unleash another Goal of the season contender with an unbelievable strike that thundered into the top corner.
Overall a great Bank holiday fixture contested between two competitive teams played in front of a crowd of 91, which saw the home side taking all 3 points to continue their 100% start to the season with the ever reliable M.Kason chosen as the Match Days sponsors MOTM
